Warning - Auto Accidents Prevailing
Written on July 30, 2008
Accidents are indeed inevitable. In whatever form they may be, they are always regarded as something really serious and fatal. One of these instances is auto accident, which has rapidly occurred in several roads, streets and highways. It has been on the records that these catastrophes have led and resulted to injuries, disabilities and even deaths. Thus, it has also been noted that the usual causes of such auto accidents are driver or pedestrian negligence and defiance of the law.
With this regard, here are some of specific points and reminders, specialized for both parties - drivers and pedestrians, who could certainly eliminate if not totally eradicate such unlikely road occurrences:
A. For the drivers/motorists
• From the moment you start the engine of your vehicle, you should immediately make yourself liable and responsible for the lives of so many people whom you could encounter and deal with along the busy streets, and even your own life as well. So, be extra careful. It is better to reach your destination slowly or unhurriedly but safe than be there as quick as you could yet with damages or injuries.
• Reduce your speed on overcrowded areas and vicinity such as markets, school zones and malls. These are the places where traffic accidents are really rampant and inevitable as adults, teens and even children would pass and cross the streets negligently.
• Religiously observe traffic devices, signs, rules, regulations and warnings. Be socially responsible by putting into your priorities the environment and all those pedestrians.
• Be prompt and certain that when the traffic light is red, you make a full stop. Thus, you only continue driving if there is zero pedestrian crossing the busy street.
B. For the pedestrians
• Be a law-abider who has the right attitude particularly your sense of social responsibility. Hence, discipline is very important. Safety measures are indeed useless if someone lacks self-discipline. In addition, he has to be vigilant and alert enough when outside. This is to keep you away from any unexpected circumstances to take place.
• Do not just cross the streets in any of their portions and parts. There are proper and appropriate areas to do so. When crossing such streets, you must utilize pedestrian lanes because these are constructed and put up for your safety.
• Observe traffic lights. When red is on, see to it that vehicles are on their full stop. If yes, cross the street as speedy yet carefully as you can. Never attempt to take the high risk of crossing the road when you see that the lights would be changing from red to green. Remember, there are some undisciplined drivers who are too excited to reach their destinations.
• Walk on the side of the street, which is opposite to the flow of moving vehicles. This could keep you alert enough to move away when you see a vehicle heading your way. In addition, you must be visible to the eyes of the motorists. Wear the appropriate colors of clothing at night or even during a bad weather condition. These are when the road accident ratio is actually higher.
As there can be different kinds of road catastrophes, which may occur in the most unexpected time and place, a motorist and a pedestrian should bear in mind the abovementioned reminders to road safety. Moreover, as the clich goes, prevention is still the best way to get rid of any harmful disasters, injuries and even deaths. Likewise, people only have to be socially responsible, be aware and attentive - always keep an eye.
